RANKED 5TH IN THE NATION WITH CRYE-LEIKE FRANCHISES

I was born and raised in Bledsoe County, graduating High School in 1976. At an early age, I was introduced to working with the public. My father owned and operated a small service station. (NOTE: "There was a Gas War in the late '60's. Gas at our pump was 39 cents per gallon. There were Long Lines for hours as we had Full Service back then."

In the late 60's and early 70's, my Mom owned and operated a Drive-In Restaurant called Martha's Drive Inn . My sister, Debbie and I were Car-Hops. Mom and my brother, Rick, were the cooking staff. We stayed open until 1:00 AM on weekends and stayed very busy! (NOTE: At that time, you could buy a Hamburger Steak Dinner with Fries, Salad, Rolls, a Drink and free re-fills for $1.25. It's no wonder that we were always so busy!)

I've always worked with the public as I owned and operated a Convenience Store for ten years. At the same time, I owned & operated a Hair Salon called BJ's California Concept. After running both places for a few years, I vowed that I would never do that again.

My Mom encouraged me to get into the Real Estate Business in the early '90's. I started out with one desk and a phone in my Mom's old Drive Inn building. I continued to cut hair until late into the night. After three years of having two occupations, I went into Real Estate Full-time. I've been an Agent/Broker since 1997 and have been through the HIGHS and LOWS that the Real Estate Business provides. I've made many new friends, some of whom will last a lifetime. I've found that the most rewarding thing about this business is the people that I've met and have been able to help with their Real Estate needs, if only in a small way. "I LOVE THIS BUSINESS!"

I owe my success not only in Real Estate, but in life in general, to my Mom. She taught me that in life ~ there is more pleasure in helping others that have not been as fortunate as you. In the Real Estate Business, I've been able to assist some folks along the way. With this being said, I carry on my Mother's Dream and Legacy of helping others along Life's Pathway. My Mother, Martha Brown, passed away in 2008. It is because of her that I'm in the Real Estate Business. She made me the person that I am today. Mom once said to me, "Bill - You only live once and if you go through life and don't take time to help others, you have wasted your time on earth!

MILLION DOLLAR PRODUCER

I was raised on a small farm, and moved to Spencer, TN in 2003 with my husband and three children. Spencer and Van Buren County has felt like home to us with its natural beauty, rural farm areas, the peace, the quiet, and friendliness of the folks here. We just fit right in.

I have been involved in local Real Estate sales in Van Buren County since 2006. Meeting new people and helping folks out with buying and/or selling their homes and land has been very enjoyable to me. Making that transaction easy and enjoyable for other folks has always been my goal. Now it is time for me to extend my Real Estate Services to include surrounding areas and counties. I will be doing that through Crye-Leike Brown Realty.

I have made a long list of lifetime friends. I'd like to continue adding to that list!

I am very excited about joining the Crye-Leike Brown Realty Team and being a part of an office whose experience you can trust and honesty you can count on!

AWARD OF EXELLENCE RECIPIENT FOR UPPER CUMBERLAND 2015

MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR TOP PRODUCER FOR 2014-2015

I was born in Michigan, but lived in south Florida, New Orleans, and California, but made my final residence here in Cumberland County in the mid 90's. My father was the drummer for Frankie Avalon, so I was able to travel the county and pick the best place on earth- so here I am. My background education is in Marketing and I have been involved in Real Estate in one form of another since the late 90's.

Up until 2008, I ran The Assistance Fund, which was a down payment assistance program for moderate to low income families. It provided the opportunity for home ownership to those who had good credit, but were just unable to come up with a required down payment.

Since 2000, my husband, Bill Knight and I, have owned and operated Knights Roofing here in Cumberland County, and in 2009, I also became the President of Cumberland Mountain Retreat and Water Utility. I breed and raise APHA horses and on top of all that, I am the mother of 3, 1 in College, 1 in High School, and gratefully- my youngest, is in grade school and he is a survivor of Leukemia.

I was always told that busy people are successful people, and that you can always find time if it is important to you. I believe I am testament to that! I am a high energy person and am giving you the opportunity to put me to work for you! I love to work with people and serving them is the best way I know! We live in an awesome community and this team here at Brown Realty is committed to meeting your Real Estate needs- whatever your requirement is.

I was born in Central Kentucky in 1935 and after high school attended the University of Dayton where after graduation I spent the first 20 years of my working career with Chrysler Corporation in Dayton, OH plant. During these 20 years I worked with the Financial Department and set the budgets and financial statements for the entire division. I was then promoted to the Washington, DC operation for Chrysler, which changed my career to Sales and Marketing. I then managed the largest sales operation for the company in the Washington/ Baltimore area.

In 1979 I had the opportunity to go home & join the AO Smith Corporation and went into the industrial engineering field and had extensive experience in plant management in their Central Kentucky plant. After I demonstrated my abilities to AO Smith Corporation I was awarded 1 of 3 positions to start-up a new plant in Monterrey, Mexico. The plant met all start-up objectives by the end of the 1st year. I was then transferred to Acuna, Mexico as the General Manager. Under my direction this plant became their #1 volume plant.

In 1998 we retired to Fairfield Glade after a nationwide search for our retirement paradise. Since moving to Fairfield Glade we made many friends and found many hobbies including construction of 3 homes and assisting dozens of families with the landscaping of their new homes. As we always enjoyed people and friends we decided to use our experience about Fairfield Glade to help others achieve their dream of living in paradise on the Cumberland Plateau.

When selling or buying a home it often feels as if you are being caught up in a whirlwind. My purpose as a real estate agent and REALTOR is to help you understand the process, so you are comfortable and in control. It takes a team to get you to the finish line.

My wife Jessica and I moved from Texas to Tennessee a few years ago to renovate and sell one of our homes in Fairfield Glade. I was a marketing and business development executive in the pharmaceutical industry. My wife, an interior designer and photographer, stages homes. The firm marketing our home had to meet our own high professional standards.

Crye-Leike Brown Realty listed and sold our home! They share our philosophy -- make the investments and effort to do the job right. Our agent led a team of people with diverse talents, including us, to present our home in the best light. The experience inspired me to retire from the pharmaceutical industry and join the Crye-Leike Brown Realty team.

If you are exploring Fairfield Glade to buy a home, or if you are ready to put your home on the market, now is the time. I would be delighted to give you a sense of the pulse and soul of the community. My entire family moved to Fairfield Glade from New York and New England in 1983. As a family, we have worked for many of the civic organizations, e.g., the art guild, Hospice and the Lakes Committee. Fairfield Glade has been my second home and sanctuary while my career led me to Boston, Austin, and Madison. It's a great place to enjoy the most important aspects of life.

I was born and raised in beautiful Fentress County. I attended West Fentress Elementary School and was a 1994 graduate of Alvin C. York Institute. After graduation, I attended Roane State Community College for one year and then went on to be employed by the Berkline Corporation in Livingston, TN. for two years.

In 1997, I purchased and operated Moody's Grocery in Armathwaite, TN. During my time in the convenient store business, I had the privilege of meeting several people from Fentress County as well as making many acquaintances with people from out of town. Being a life-long resident of Fentress County gave me first-hand knowledge of the area. We are blessed with Big South Fork National Park and Pickett State Park both of which include miles of hiking and horse trails as well as campgrounds. Fentress also borders Pickett County, home of Dale Hollow Lake!

Operating the store and my knowledge of the area, gave me the opportunity to help people find property. It was then I realized how much I enjoyed it! (So much that I decided to get my Real Estate License.)

In 2005, I received my license and went to work, doing what I loved. The Real Estate Market was booming. I sold the convenient store in 2007 and went into Real Estate full time.

My wife Kendra and I reside in Jamestown, TN. We have a total of SIX children, YES, I said SIX. We attend Alive in the Spirit Church in Jamestown.

I conduct my business with honesty and integrity. Let me help you find your next dream home or property!

I have lived in the quaint countryside of Crossville, TN almost my entire life. At the age of 7, my family moved from the busy city of Ft. Lauderdale, FL to the beautiful mountains of Tennessee to enjoy a more peaceful environment and to have our horses nearby. I studied Chemical Engineering at the University of Tennessee and began pursuing my love for lab work by getting my state license as a Small Water Systems Operator in the area. Being a more extroverted individual, however, I decided that my love for making people happy would be a perfect fit in the real estate world. My mother has been a successful entrepreneur for practically all of my life, giving me the knowledge and training for success at a young age. I am passionate about the needs and goals of my clients & I specialize in bringing peace of mind to them during the stressful buying or selling process. I enjoy being helpful in my community by volunteering my time to organize community events, assist in setting up food trucks, or lend a hand with any projects in the area overall. In my spare time, I love riding my horses, listening to live music, and seeking adventures outdoors, preferably by waterfalls.
